The UK aims to build closer defence and intelligence cooperation arrangements with India, Britain's Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss told NDTV on Saturday. A day after a meeting with India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in New Delhi, Ms Truss said that her visit is aimed at forging stronger security and defence links with India, the world's largest democracy, as a key part of the UK's Indo-Pacific strategy. She also said that India is a key ally of AUKUS, a trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US.
